It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

@bexhillbookworm.bsky.social brave doggo!

Being murdered doesn’t change who a person was. They’re still a hate spewing, conspiracy spouting idiot. Just a dead one.

I tell people that science is the miracle they’ve been praying for. He’s never going to reach down out of the clouds and do it for us. He blessed us with the ability to discover, to learn, and to seek out answers, and rejecting science is rejecting the One Who made us intelligent.

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

Support for vaccinating kids against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year We are getting dumber as a society

Typical. America’s leader announces everyone in Ireland is dead & I live on my own. I didn’t get to see the rapture! Why am I being cancelled & why are there all these dead birds in my flat? Why is it middle aged White men in Dublin who must suffer most? Seriously what’s with the dead birds?

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

That feeling of desperately wanting your elected government to loudly call out racism & far right violent extremists... And nothing. Labour so afraid to lose power, it has forgotten both how to use it & that with power comes responsibility. As America gets ever darker, too little light here.

There's very good money in being a right-wing hate monger. We really need to be pointing that out a lot more. It's a path to wealth for quite a few people on both sides of the Atlantic in the age of politainment.

I never condone murder, but I can’t help observing that if you are an abhorrent spreader of hate and a strong advocate of gun ownership… you live by the sword, you die by the sword.

As the lights go out all over the world, be a shining beacon It is important everyone knows there is still good out there, and where to find them The darker it gets, the more you shine Do not lose your humanity

His father and his uncle were literally assassinated... by people with guns... in the 1960s.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

Not all Britons, only Tories and Reform supporters!

The ‘antiwar’ president today tried to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War. Can’t make this stuff up.

Imagine being so brainwashed…. #bluesky #brainwashed #cult

This shipping certificate is from August 1832 and is related to Rye Harbour. The hand written portions can be a little difficult to make out in places. The last portion of printed text reads “And so God send the good Ship to her desired Port in safety - Amen.” #Bexhill

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

Perhaps rather than endlessly promoting Mr Farage, the national media could highlight what his local councillors are doing - as demonstrated here by @northantstelegraph.bsky.social www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/...

i’ll never get over how blatantly and proveably lying is one of the best political strategies of the modern age

Beautifully accurate poem on #Grief and deeply missing a loved one. 🕊️ Words by Becky Hemsley Poetry 2024

Snoop went from Gin & Juice to whining about a lesbian kiss in a Pixar movie. Imagine surviving decades of censorship, police harassment, and being labeled a “threat to society”… only to turn around and fear visibility for others who’ve been marginalized just like you.

Broccoli treats for our emus thank you Sainsbury’s & M&S Devizes for supporting local charities and behind no food waste @sainsburys.bsky.social @marksandspencers.bsky.social

I would have missed seeing this little family of woodland ducks if I wasn’t out walking & running this morning. I stopped & watched them go back & forward for a little while, checked my times & then kept going. It’s the little things that give me joy! 💦 🦆👣 👋🏽😀

The Royal Family own 250,000 acres including at least 12 grand palaces and large country estates. Funny. Never seen the Telegraph get sniffy about that. Seems like more of a target.

Gosh these knitted postbox toppers are getting really realistic

The cooling towers at Cottam power station came down today. It was a big part of our local skyline along with West Burton, it looks a bit strange without them.

The absolute cream turnip of hypocrites.

What dastardly schemes will this evil council conjure up next in its mission to.... checks notes... stop people getting killed by bad drivers

Unfortunately, and as I write about in my current book... British society in the 1930s... and even after the start of the war... influenced by newspapers like the Daily Mail was just as hostile to Jewish German and other refugees of Naziism as their modern descendants are to 'asylum seekers' today.

Guarantee you the same arseholes bullying young Skye are the same tossers who will make creepy leering and lecherous comments when her acne heals. At the end of the day, Skye Stout is a professional footballer. You, prick, at best came on as an 87th minute sub when your Year 8 team got humped 7-0.

My wife shared this with me and I’m tellin you… it’s worth the read.

“The ‘grown women’ of Ireland remember very well what erasure and control and lack of bodily autonomy feel like and it’s for this very reason that we stand so passionately with the trans community today” #TransRightsAreHumanRights @independent.ie

A key problem of modern life is the fact that most people are completely detached from the actual nature of the collective reality they inhabit.
